The Herrnstadt sequences were just recently integrated into GenBank, but they
date back to 2002, so I wouldn't place too much weight on haplogroup labels.
It was the first study with coding region data for a large number of samples
from European, African, and Asian haplogroups, so it's a classic paper worth
reviewing to get some perspective on how this field is developing.

This work was done under the corporate sponsorship of a company named
MitoKor, now defunct. I've corresponded with Corinne Herrnstadt in the past, and she
has now moved on to a completely different field.
